Do not use personal arguments
Avoid citing personal reasons, such as a divorce, when asking for a raise. Focus on professional and factual arguments.
Avoid comparing yourself to your coworkers
Every situation is different, particularly in terms of length of service or work history. However, if you’re requesting a justified salary adjustment, be firm.
ask for a realistic amount
Demanding much more than you actually want can undermine your credibility. Opt for a measured and serious approach instead.
Don't threaten to leave
It's a risky strategy that could backfire on you. If you don't follow through, it undermines your consistency.
Don't show up unprepared
Find out about the company's financial situation and highlight your contribution to its growth, particularly in terms of revenue.
